Potato Head

Annaka, Adelyn and I recently visited my parents and their garden. Our mission (which we chose to accept) was to kill some time, eat some strawberries, and dig some potatoes (get dirty). We were successful on all accounts. Even in hunting the elusive potato. All the potatoes I would unearth were all too common; too visible; too sooo last minute for Annaka (Adelyn could care less). Annaka didn't want to pick up those potatoes. Nope! She would dig to find the really"hidden treasures" before unceremoniously dumping them into the white five gallon bucket. All in all it was an enjoyable way to spend an hour or so. On the plus side we had hash brown makings for a few weeks.

A day or so later I walked in our front door. To find our bucket of treasure about half as full as it was. Ironically I didn't see any potatoes anywhere. Well, I didn't see them at first. I will post a picture here. Perhaps you can spot where the potatoes ran off to.

Yep, I did find them. They were safely tucked away as mini clansmen hidden behind well formed plastic and comfortable foam walls. I did asked Annaka how this happened and she quickly surrendered her younger sister. I asked again later and she was more hesitant and told me that she had only helped Adelyn. So at this point I am not sure if Annaka or Adelyn or both did this. I do know that Naomi, myself, and Jindol had absolutely nothing to do with it (as is the case with many things in our house). Now who will clean the dirt out of the helmets?
